And He dwells among them there.
O Je­su, Sav­ior, at whose voice
Through far Ju­dea’s fa­vored land,
He wan­dered that wea­ry land o’er,
There is room for the world ov­er there,
There are many man­sions up there;
Make we Thee our king most dear.

Tossing on life’s dark sea.
Shall its pre­cious com­fort be,
Heaven-born char­ity yields a sup­ply;

Shall its pre­cious com­fort be,
For love of man was born on Christ­mas Day.
Lord, your lov­ing knows no bounds; you have con­quered death for all.
My Fa­ther dwells ab­ove the sky;
To the lost, to those who mourn,
To this land of sin and mourn­ing;
Sleeps a child up­on her bed;
Hopeless, and un­done;
